Het Grachtenhuis

TIME : 2016/2/19 2:27:22

If you're the kind of person who walks through the Canal Ring and marvels over what a feat of engineering it is, you won't want to miss the Canal House, which explains how the canals and houses that line them were built. The museum uses holograms, videos, models, cartoons and other innovative ways to tell the story.

Unlike most Amsterdam museums, you can't simply wander through. Small groups go in together to experience the multimedia exhibits. It takes about an hour, and you'll come out knowing why Amsterdam's houses tilt. Tickets are cheaper when purchased online.
